The 1000 series KRL demand much more money than the 700 series. KRL722 is 24” deep

There are differences in the KRL line too.. 700 and 1000 series. I have a KRL1032 and love it. Once you use a 30” deep box it’ll spoil you. As for pricing from a dealer how’s your relationship with them? Are you looking to buy new or a trade in they have? Are you going to pay cash? There’s a...

I have a few sets of the Ullman picks in various carts/go boxes around. I find their handles are too small. I’m not a big fan of SO’s instinct handles they are a pain to clean but the larger size means they’re my go to for picks. Ullman - SO hard handle - SO instinct - Various screwdrivers...

I’ve grown accustomed to SO’s shallow broaching on deep sockets. My 1/4 SAE deeps are Protos, which are fantastic, but deep broaching meaning it’s difficult to use one to start a nut. Can be advantageous in some situations. Just something to be aware of. SO left Proto right. Not a SO vs Proto...

+1 for CDI. They make a lot of Snap Ons torque wrenches, which have a Snap On ratchet head. CDI is part of Snap On industrial, when you order one it’ll be post marked as such. I’m not the biggest fan of CDI’s 3 position ratchet selector but the torque wrench itself is fantastic. It is easy to...

I use pro-lift 6 ton stands with the triangle pin. They’ve held up some pretty heavy stuff to include smaller armored vehicles.

A variety of stuck sockets on hard to access bolts, various screwdrivers in inner fenders/radiator supports. Like a poster above I found a rusty .38 revolver under the rear seat of a car in a pick and pull lot.

Snap On SLL80A and its derivatives. After I saw one bent into a C shape I was sold and bought one. I have a SHLFD80A at home and love it

I use a lot of spline tools at work...for spline drive fasteners that are common. Each tool box has 1-2 drawers dedicated to spline tools. I haven’t used spine drive on conventional fasteners though. Infuriating fun fact - most spline fasteners I encounter are M6, with a socket size of 8mm...

Sioux (their core stuff) and Dynabrade are up there in top tier rotary tools as well. I have Sioux, CP and IR at home. There was a screaming eBay deal on Sioux and I bought 3. What exhaust do you prefer? Front or rear? Work has primarily Dotco and Dynabrade.

My SO driver warranties Knipex. He admits he usually eats it but all part of keeping a solid customer base. I have dealt with Knipex directly once. A heavily worn set of Cobra pliers, they said they didn’t cover normal wear and tear but still sent a replacement in good faith.

Yes, hyper tough with the striking cap

+1 for the rebranded Wilde pry bars. I have a set in my service cart and they’re great. Can’t beat the price!

+1 for sure shot. I love mine. My brother modified it as a Christmas present with a junk Ruby pistol I had laying around. Takes squirt gun to a new level. I fill it with mineral spirits, acetone or degreaser depending on what I need to do.

Quality screwdrivers

I don’t like them. Any that I own have ended up in my junk box. Ease of maintenance isn’t a consideration when the usage is zero.

Today’s little haul - 2 x SPRG618R spring push/pull tools - my dealer said he’s going to order a ton more of these as they’re the cheapest hard handle donor he’s seen. Red hard handle long pick set TK72 stubby 1/4 ratchet TKF72 stubby flex 1/4 ratchet - my second because I like the first so much...

KRL1032 for the home garage. It’s my first 30” deep box...didn’t know how much I really needed that. That Miller digital welding helmet looks awesome. I’ll have to look into those. Those Wright wrenches will serve you well!

There’s one of those attached to the Perseverance rover’s robotic arm. I’m not sure what shipping from Mars would be but based on your operation parameters it may be at the remote site you wanted already. Not sure where you’d find a discount coupon. The guts of it.
